Inuyasha
Chapter 25: Perfect Fit

He never really gotten a straight answer out of her, instead she would always throw at him questions that made him frown in frustration for a long time period after she had walked out on him when he was unable to reply her. He had never thought that this would be that troublesome, or in the least bit difficult in the first place.

It was hard to describe what he liked about her, it was just about everything, including that scheming dark side of her, he found it almost cute how she tried to make their lives difficult when in fact she has been nothing but kind in his view. Too gracious to them in fact, whereas he would just immediately take action once he has everything in hand.

"What do you mean by 'like'?"

"What do you like about me?"

"How are you even sure that you even 'like' me,"

Those were the few things that she had asked of him, he had originally though that once he had fallen in love, but even after that experience, he was not sure exactly what does being in love means after that, not fully comprehending much about it in the end, and yet he could not get rid of the wanting to be around her and protect her.

Perhaps he had not phrased himself properly, and now things are a little unsettled between the two of them that is already strained enough as it is. Both of them have tried in their own way of moving forward, Kagome being with the plan to quickly take on firmer shape, and Sesshoumaru with his own sets of problems with his personal life, and replying her, wanting to give her a satisfying answer.

"That dress looks perfect," Kimi said as she watched Kagome came out of the changing room.

Kikyo looked surprise when she saw Kagome walking out in a wedding dress before of her. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of Kagome dressed in a simple yet extravagant wedding dress.

"Oh yes, Auntie Kimi is right, you look perfect in that," Kikyo added in though rather grudgingly, as she smiled happily on her face, but that smile never did reach her eyes, neither did it come forth from within of her.

"Perhaps I should try a few other dresses just to be sure?" Kagome said, chewing her lower lips as she looked at herself in the mirror.

"Try this," a male said as the soft muffled sound of his shoes on the carpeted ground could be heard coming from the door way along with the rustling sound of plastic and cloth along with the foot steps.

"Sesshou…" Kagome called out to his name in surprise, looking at him and then at Kimi who smiled at her innocently with a playful smile playing upon her lips.

Seeing her standing there in a wedding dress, Sesshoumaru felt blissful, happy and anticipating for the day of their wedding. However his eyes dimmed, remembering what she said, he felt somewhat down and gloomy about it as his eyes dimmed. Motioning for the person carrying the dress to bring it towards of Kagome, he saw the confused look in her eyes as the other slowly revealed the dress before of her.

Kikyo watches with envy and jealousy as she looked at Sesshoumaru, then at the dress that is still within the partially translucent clothes bag as her eyes shone with greed at it. Kimi caught it, but when Kikyo found out of her lack of control over her own emotions, she quickly have it replaced with a more complacent and serene look.

"But how do you know that we'll be here?" Kagome asked him with a frown, after seeing the dress, shock and stunned. Her hand touches the soft fabric, her fingers lingering on the fabric, unable to take her hands off it.

"Mother told me," Sesshoumaru replied her easily, going towards his mother as he motioned for the female staff of the shop to help Kagome with the change in a royally manner.

Kagome looked towards Kimi questioningly who only smiled at her innocently and motioned for her to change, anticipation and silently laughing glee in her eyes. Without much of a fight, but a few more frowns Kagome could only shake her head with a smile that if one could see closely is that of a lonesome one before she turned to enter the dressing room again.

Sitting outside, Kimi was updating on Sesshoumaru of what they have done that day, even showing him pictures that she had taken on her phone of Kagome in the various dresses. Kikyo had looked on silently unsure of when to step in to say a few words, when she did, Sesshoumaru did not pay her much attention, whilst Kimi would glanced at her from the corner of her eyes in amusement.

The 'Oh's and 'Ah's coming from the dressing room was enough to let Sesshoumaru stop listening to his mother and sat up a little straighter in his chair as he looked in the direction of where the dressing room is, already at the edge of his seat, waiting in anticipation.

Kikyo saw his expression and already she could feel that hatred in her growing. She turned her head away, glaring in the direction of where Kagome is hiding behind the curtains with the other few staffs that are helping her carefully into the wedding dress that Sesshoumaru had brought along with him. If anything, she wants to be the one to replace Kagome, and could not help but to gnash her teeth at it.

Kagome walked out of the dressing room, her dress carefully lifted by the two of the staff as one carried her trail while the other lifted her veil, guiding her to the platform as Kagome made a turn, letting the dress to fall around of her gently down to the carpeted ground to show the full extent of the dress on her.

"My…Sesshoumaru I must say, you really do have an eye," Kimi gasped out softly, stunned at the image of the bride-to-be in front of her.

"Oh Kagome, you look so lovely!" Kikyo gasped out in fake happiness that held her bitterness in it even if her face is full of smiles, but there is also that coldness in the depth of her eyes shining.

Kagome looked surprised as well, wearing a simple empire dress of white silk with silver and gold threads along the edges and simple designs, clear crystal embellishments finishing the dress, shining with each of the dresses movements. Her vein made of the simples organza with simple similar designs on it and similar crystals dotting the simple white veil sparsely in tiny crystals.

Sesshoumaru was stunned by the sight, he had the dress made especially for her, something simple, but enough to catch the eyes. And he was right in choosing a simple modest empire dress with a long tulip bell sleeves covering her arms, opening from her shoulder as it open behind of her like a pair of gossamer wings, made of thin silk that one can see her arms through.

"Sesshoumaru, this is too much," Kagome told him even this is really the dress that has caught her eyes to the point that she is unable to take her eyes of it. The feel of it though is soft as silk and almost light, but made heavy by the crystal embellishment that really left her stunned and surprise.

He did not say a word, but he could not take her eyes off from the moment that she stepped out from behind of the changing room curtain. He stood up, smiling very faintly upon his lips as it tugged at the side of his lips, walking towards of her as he reached out to grab both of her hands and brought them to his lips as he kissed both hands.

"You look lovely, it's a perfect fit" Sesshoumaru says as with tenderness in his eyes as he looked at her, seeing how the dress fitted her perfectly, just as how he had imagined it would be.

"This was especially designed for you," he said, "I hope that you will wear this," he added the last part in a low tone, taking a step up onto the platform and getting closer towards her.

Kagome was left speechless as her eyes looked at him in the eyes before searching it for other traces of something that even she is unsure. She could not help but feel touched by this gesture, and her face softened without herself knowing about it either.

"…I…I will," she replied softly, a soft true smile appear upon lips that brightened up her face as her eyes watered for the first time in front of him, and a blush tinted her face, as it made her look all the more alluring and enchanting to him.

Over the duration that she stays with him, he would sometimes hear her sobbing or crying when she is in her room. If he had not been walking by it, he would not have known about it either. In the beginning he had walked away leaving her to cry on her own. However about a month later, he would sometimes hear her cry late in the night or sometimes, he would even hear her cry out a few times in the night. Again he did nothing at first, but would later try entering her room only to see that the door to her room is more often locked than left unlocked.

"Well, it looks like we have found the perfect dress," Kimi said as she walked the last few steps towards Kagome and Sesshoumaru to stand by them, breaking their lovey-dovey moment.

The scene however was as piercing as ever to Kikyo as a sneer tugged upon her lips, but wiped it away immediately to replace it again with a happy smile as she too walked up towards them, reaching out to try grabbing both Kagome's and Sesshoumaru's hands into her own, but was instead taken a hold of by Kimi before she could even touch theirs. Kikyo frowned at it as she said nothing, but smiled happily at them that as always, did not reach her eyes.

"Oh your bachelorette party! We've everything all planned out for you," Kikyo said with excitement, drawing their attention towards her, and it pleases her very much.

"I can't wait for it!" Kikyo says as she reached out to brush hands with Sesshoumaru's whilst she grab hold of Kagome's ones and already it was frowned at by Sesshoumaru when her hand touches his, disgusting him. However Kikyo did not see it as it was gone in a blink of the eye before anyone can take note of it.

"Come now, go get change, and you two can go spend some time together," Kimi says as she guided Kagome towards the changing room, as two of the other female staffs are already helping her, carefully lifting of her trail and veil.

"I'll wait for you here," he assured her, watching her be led away by the two staffs as he turned his back away from Kikyo, a look of disdain flashes across his eyes before it calmed back to it's cool indifference.

Kimi looked at Sesshoumaru with laughter in her eyes, leading her son back to the seat as she talked to him quietly, the two of them ignoring Kikyo which made her frown as she was followed to sit by Sesshoumaru side, but she was still ignored.

It did not take long, before Kagome returned back, dressed in her normal clothes as she walked towards them, but was already received by Sesshoumaru mid way through who spoke softly to her and led her away from the dressing and waiting room area after a nod to his mother. Kagome looked at him with knitted brow, but did not forget to call out a goodbye to Kimi and lastly to Kikyo.

"They look so good together," Kimi said with smiles as she walked out soon after them after she had the same person who brought the dress do so again and to follow after her.

Her words pierced Kikyo as a ferocious look upon her face that she could no longer hide as she glared at them. Though when she thought about what she had already planned with Naraku, she felt better, but could not help but wish that that day would come sooner.
